How Does On Demand Video Authentication
Service Work?
Multiple authentication systems can be used
to control access to your media. When a user tries
to view secure media, On Demand Video’s
Authentication Service passes the call to the
remote web service specified by the customer. This
web service call is made in real-time and will
only allow authorized users to access once the
reply is received from the content
owner.
Three Methods of Authentication
Controls
1.
Tokens: Link
into any web service by requesting information
from the user such as username and password or a
time stamp for expiring links.
2.
IP
Addresses: Only
allow users in a specific IP block to view your
media.

Referrers:
Ensure that links to media only come from websites
authorized by you |

attributes to accept or reject requests to view secure
media. Only authorized users are granted access to live
